Who did these stats, I'm getting more right wing proganda than ever. Also Facebook is just as bad as ever. I really like stuff like the fediverse since I can control my feed.
If it’s true that they have closed the radicalization rabbit hole then that is a huge achievement and very very good news.
Now that they've entrenched an entire alternative universe in an election-winning proportion of the population, they don't need it anymore.
Unless YouTube is going to be deliberately directing people to deprogramming content it's too late.
Requesting a paywall circumvention.
I was aware of this study when they presented it virtually (can’t remember where), and while I don’t have an issue with their approach and results, I’m more concerned about the implications of these numbers. The few percent that were exposed to extremist content may seen small. But scaling that up to population level, personally that is worrisome to me … The impact of the few very very bad apples can still catastrophic.
